She left the game running while we had dinner or something, and we chuckled as the sun rose and fell and rose again, all while the poor assassin hacked away.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-40282001327345159892018-12-02T19:47:47.047-05:002018-12-02T19:47:47.047-05:00For the anecdote, the japanese PC98 version of the...For the anecdote, the japanese PC98 version of the octopus lady doesn't wear the seashell bikini top (although as far as I know it is the only monster that's been altered in such a way)Chevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-15679462310469842642018-12-02T12:07:05.218-05:002018-12-02T12:07:05.218-05:00I don't think the lack of spaces in * BROMBADE...I don't think the lack of spaces in * BROMBADEG * is intended to suggest she is a lesser boss.

And, of course, when swimming. Yes, "Stamina" and "Restfull" only restore a small percentage, but sleeping restores almost all of it, even for high-level characters.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-73393985298213835122018-12-01T03:38:38.256-05:002018-12-01T03:38:38.256-05:00I love the idea that ninjas are so effortlessly st...I love the idea that ninjas are so effortlessly stealthy that they can dodge attacks literally in their sleep.stepped pyramidsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-34855165828667590552018-11-30T16:13:13.477-05:002018-11-30T16:13:13.477-05:00A booby trap with a seashell bikini.

I can feel your frustration with the game (it's a frustrating game), but I hope you're having fun too.<br /><br />The H'Jenn-Ra fight has a lot to do with which party has more speed - two batteries of glass cannons facing each other. The Magna Dane fight is another good example.<br /><br />On monster strength and immunities: Rirel zbafgre unf n punenpgre yriry.

A lot of things you do expend a percentage of stamina (swimming, climbing, breath weapon), but the restoration spells only give back a fixed range. The higher level you are, the less you get proportionally!<br /><br />Back in the day, when I was soloing, a lot of glow mothra fights would go like this: they would put me to sleep, but couldn't really hit me (ninja), but because their special abilities cost percentile stamina, they would eventually get tired to the point of falling asleep themselves, resulting in an epic battle where both sides were slumbering. I would eventually wake up and I had stamina spells, they didn't.Mirnaianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-73073242006355647922018-11-30T10:23:58.688-05:002018-11-30T10:23:58.688-05:00I think the evil witch in Disney's Little Merm...I think the evil witch in Disney's Little Mermaid is the prototype for that sea monster: top of a lady, octopus bottom.
